Right now my office is pretty chilly, and it was even cooler last night while these were running. This is the first time I've seen these "*** Signal 6"s, and this is also the first time I've tried a USE_KQUEUE verison of `make'. And while the make-related processes died with the signal's, none of the other processes on the system had any problems. (including the folding-at-home client which is still running on the machine). Also, this machine is usually running two copies of the "folding at home" client, so it is *usually* running flat-out, 24 hours a day. There are other days when the air-conditioning in the computer center is a bit flaky, and my office gets up to 90F. This machine hasn't had any problems at those temperatures (although I sometimes do!). -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
